Abstract

Use of algorithms in bariatric surgery has not become popular due to the complexity of both the operations and the patients. The 50-year history of bariatric surgery has taught us that “one size does not fit all” in terms of both restrictive and malabsorptive measurement parameters. Hence, the proposed algorithms are, at best, guidelines based upon our cumulative experience. No single bariatric procedure has produced uniformly good results. There are patients who can and will defeat any and all bariatric operations. The greatest enemy of good is perfection, which cannot be achieved in this challenging group of patients.
